I would like a day dress, that is not a wrap dress.

[BikeRunSki]

I would like a day dress that I can just pop on, with a nice pair of shoes and be ready for work in 30 seconds.

My fantasy requirements are -
Not a wrap dress
Not floral
Not too plain either
Knee length or longer
Not black
Needs lseevs of some sort
Not empire line, always makes me look pregnant, except when I am! (I'm not)
Preferably not jersey, but would consider it.
Something I could wear by itself in summer and with a cardy and tights in winter would be nice.

I thought the Boden Esseential Dress in the SS catalogue was the answer to my prayers, but I ordered it and it looked like a dishrag.

I am a buxom size 14, 5'8" and fair.

Budget - I normally quake at the idea of paying more that £50 for anything, but would spend maybe up to £100 for the right dress.

I also needs some shoes to go with it! I like chunky Fly type shoes, hate dainty stilletoey things, rarerly wear heels, but think this type of dress would need heels.

Hoep there are soem magicians out there!

Wow blimey ladies, thank you! Loving all the sale Jaeger, but do rather like the LKBennett silk one. Also this LKB one this.

shirt dresses good for the curvy - M&S have a nice-looking navy one in Autograph at the moment. I am purchasing it myself when I get the opportunity (can't do links though sorry)
